Gracie Austin m James Howard Grisham abt 1904 Phillips, OK
I have info about the Gracie Austin b 11 Sep 1888 in Gainesville, TX? She m James Howard Grisham about 1904 in Phillips Town, Coal Co, OK.Who put their family tree on Word Family Tree and Ancestry.com?
The US Govt Record of Dawes Index for Choctaw ancestry has a card for Gracie. It says her father was a John Austin who died soon after her birth. Her mother Martha Annie Ray Austin Newton, gave testimony to the Commission and said her father was John Ray 1/4 Choctaw and Mother was Sarah Ann Ray Full blood Choctaw.
The request for benefits for Gracie from the MS Choctaw was rejected, and refused on Jul 8, 1902.Card MCR604
I am trying to find her Austin ancestry.Gracie and James Grisham had at least 9 children.They were born between 1904 and 1925.Ira Grant, Lillie May, Sadie, Elizabeth Ann "Lizzie", Arthur Lee, Virgil Ray, and Merrill Eugene.
I want to hear from some of those Grishams, please.
